Right of Way Support and Property Acquisition Services

The Town of Farragut, Tennessee is seeking professional services for a roadway improvement project at Virtue Road and Boyd Station Road through a Request for Qualifications (RFQ). The procurement aims to select three separate firms to provide specialized Right of Way (ROW) support services across approximately 23 property tracts, with each firm responsible for one of three distinct functions: Appraisal Preparation, Appraisal Review, or Property Owner Negotiations. The project involves acquiring right of way, permanent drainage easements, slope easements, and construction easements to support infrastructure improvements including grading, paving, signage, and intersection enhancements. Evaluation criteria include demonstrated abilities in ROW services (25%), experience with TDOT Local Programs projects (25%), staff qualifications and availability (20%), schedule adherence (15%), and prior project evaluations (15%). The submission deadline is January 8, 2026, at 2:00 PM, with proposals to be submitted to Anissa Pratte, Staff Accountant, at the Town of Farragut Procurement Division. The project is federally funded under PIN 132927.00, Federal Project STP-M-9109(195), and requires coordination with TDOT Right of Way offices and compliance with their most recent guidelines.

Respondents must provide evidence of Tennessee licensure and submit several compliance forms, including a Drug-Free Workplace Affidavit, Non-Collusion Affidavit, Iran Divestment Act Certification, and Statement of Illegal Immigrants certification. For the Property Owner Negotiations function, consultants must be prequalified with the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) and submit corresponding documentation. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the RFQ emphasizes strict communication protocols, with all inquiries to be directed solely to Anissa Pratte via email, and unauthorized contact with other Town personnel potentially resulting in bid disqualification. The solicitation documents are available on multiple platforms including the Town website, Vendorlink, Beacon, and EUNA/Demand Star, with varying registration requirements. No specific award value or budget range is provided in the documentation, as this is a qualifications-based selection process focusing on the firms' capabilities rather than pricing. The project's anticipated construction let date is approximately two years out, following utility coordination and right-of-way certification.
